High-Protein Whole Grain Garlic Olive Oil Pasta
Tender chicken breast sautéed with whole grain spaghetti in a fragrant garlic and olive oil sauce, finished with a bright squeeze of lemon and fresh parsley.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole grain spaghetti
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low-medium and add the extra virgin olive oil and thinly sliced garlic.
Sauté the garlic gently for 2 minutes until it is fragrant and light golden, ensuring it does not burn.
Whisk in the red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta cooking water to emulsify the sauce.
Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet along with the sliced chicken, tossing thoroughly to coat.
Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice for a vibrant finish.
